On Saturday next, the 10th inst,
Geo. C. Hayes Il Co. will have their
grand opening of Christmas goods,
and invite every one to attend and
see them. Being somewhat of a
privileged character our scribe got
to see part Of them yesterday and
really it seemed to us that the stock
included pretty much everything
that could be enumerated in a cata-
logue of Christmas novelties. BY
this remark we do not want to say
that this stock consists wholly of
novelties; it includes so many useful
and necessary articles that broad
er term is required to include them
all. There are scores of pretty
household good such as lamps, vases,
table ware, cutlery and dozens of
other articles. There are ornaments
innumerable, very appropriate for
presents for all, from the babe to the
grandfather; books for children,
hobby horses. sleds, sleighs, wagons,
toys, horns, games of many kinds,
block alphabets, DC, DC. Their line
of Christmas candies is equal to the
display made by a city establish
ment and their stock of fine family
groceries is large and fresh, selected
for the season that is given over to
good cheer everywhere. Housewives
who want to serve their visitors with
extra danities in the way of edibles
can get their supplies here of the
choicest. There are great number
of dolls, the handsomest we have
ever seen, many of them made Of
washable material. We overheard a
little girl while looking at them ex-
claim: "Ain't they just too sweet. "
Another item, they are sold a little
over half the price charged in previ-
GUS years. This is true of very many
of the articles exhibited.
The above does not include all the
pretty, useful and valuable articles
Their stock of jewelry and watches
includes the best, and range in price
to suit all. Presents of this kind
are probably the most desirable that
one could select. In addition to
their value and utility, they are sc
durable generally that they can BE-
kept and used during an ordinary
lifetime. On the whole we can say
if you do not find what you want al
Geo. C. Hayes 4 Co.'S you arr
mighty hard to pleaee. Go and sec
them.

Gentlemen" said the Judge of an
Arkansas court to the attorneys dur
ing a trial. II don't mind your
shooting at each other occasionally
il the circumstances seem to justify
it, but | see that one of your bullets
has hit an overcoat belonging to the
court and broke quart flask in the
inside pocket. / wish it to be dis
tinctly understood that if there il
any more such carless shooting in
this court I'll lift the scalp of the
galoot that does it, Now 60 ahead
with the case" -Chicago Neus.

A Neat Compliment.

An esteemed gentleman from the
upper end of the county, a few days
ago, in writing to the New DOMINION
says:
enclose you three dollars on sub
scription to your excellent paper,
which / think ought to be read in
every family in the county. You
may regard it strange that 1 refer
to your paper as an excellent one,
when you remember that am re-
publican. But / am not in favor of
excessive taxation on all the articles
the laboring man uses by so-called
''home protectionists." I want to
see taxation reduced and the govern
ment run on as economical princi-
Piles as consistent, with good govern
ment."

Notice to Taxpayers.

To taxpayers; The State, county
and district taxes are due for the year
1887, and must be paid. Prepare to pay
at once for they must be collected: also
all other back taxes must be paid at
once. ] don't want to hear the old
cry "when will you be around again.,
but be ready to pay at once.

The Farmers Store.

Last week was the first for the
new enterprise, the Union Supply
Agency's store. The manager in.
forms us that the people have al
ready shown their appreciation OF
the Unions efforts to supply goods
at figure heretofore not to be had.
To meet. the demand a car load of
salt has been ordered and will reach
here probably tomorrow. Other
goods are received daily as the de-
mand may warrant There is only
one condition about the sale of these
goods and that is the cash. No
books are kept. All men who pre-
fer TO do business on business prin-
ciples are invited to deal at the
Agency's store. One object Of the
enterprise is to break up as far as
possible the pernicious credit system
that ruins both buyer and seller.

The New Fruit Tree Man.

Mr.. G. w. Suthern and his men ar
rived here yesterday and will can
vas the town and county in the in
terests of their nursery. Unlike the
fruit tree men who usually sell here,
they are our neighbors and have
their nursery in Harrison county.
Mr.. Suthern is known personally to
many residents. of our county and is
square business man. He and his
men will offer nothing that is not
produced in their own nursery and
everything will be guaranteed just as
represented. In other parts of the
State many agents who sell for other
nurseries represent themselves as his
agents and are thereby enabled to
swindle the people. Besides Mr..
Suthern and his son his agents are
George Seese and Newton Blake.
Keep clear of all others and give
your orders to these gentlemen.

tective laid his hand on him, and he was
prisoner. So sin may seize the sinner at
any moment and drag him to Judgment
But you are sinner; and what do you
mean to do with sinl Be sure it will find
you out And what thenl Be beforehand
with it; find it out yourself; confess it; so
straight to God and the Saviour with It.
In the days of Cesar Augustus, who is
mentioned in the New Testament, there
lived great pirate, for whose head large
reward was offered. He said to himself:
II shall soon be caught, now that hue and
cry has been raised against me; CBsar's
war ships are securing the seas, and will
hunt me down" He disguised himself and
got into Gsesar's presence, and claimed the
reward for the pirates head. But where
is itl" Caesar asked Here it is" he said,
81 am the pirate" He threw himself at
Caesar's feet, implored mercy and offered
to serve in the imperial navy. And he was
pardoned. Be like HIM, except in one
point. Do not disguise yourself, but tear
OF every disguise, and, confessing your
sin, make the name of Jesus your only
plea Find out your sin, before it finds
you out. Like the prodigal, inform against
yourself before God.
Sin is onyour track like the avenger Of old
pursuing the Israelite who had shed blood
unawares. Like that flying man, haste to
the city of refuge. Do not look toward il,
or hang around the gate but get fairly in
side without delay. Make Christ your
hiding place, and you are safe. You can
never thank God enough for the Saviour.
How dear to our hearts should this grace
be how welcome His Gospel Be found
in Him, as Paul says; and then when the
avenger seeks you, he will find only Christ,
your surety and shield. Be sure that be-
fore the great White Throne sin will not
find out those who are found in Him.

The italian Massacre in the soudan.

ROME, Feb 14.-OficiaI reports have
been received by the government from
Massowah stating that Colonel Boretti,
commanding the Italian troops at Saati,
discovered at eleven o'clock on the MORN
ing of Jan uary 25 that the heights over
looking his camp were occupied by thou
sands of Abyssinians. Boretti sent a
party under command of Lieu
tenant Como to dislodge the Abys-
sinians. Lieutenant Como surprised
the enemy and attacked him at once.
The Abyssinians boldly advanced to meet
the Italians and fought desperately until
five o'clock in the afternoon, when they
were repulsed with a heavy loss and re-
treated from the field. Boretti's losses
were sufficiently heavy to justify him in
applying for reinforcements, which were
dispatched to him at once. The reinforc-
ing column, commanded by Colonel De-
cristo Foris, met with serious delays,
owing to the difficulty of trans portation,
and during one of his enforced
halts, Colonel Foris learning that
the force of Abyssinians he was
likely to meet was larger than he had
supposed, made application for additional
men and guns. These were Immediately
sent but when they arrived at the place
indi Gated by Colonel Foris as a meeting
place they found that Foris and his entire
command had been massacred. The bodies
of the dead Italians were lying where
they fell. Many Of them were badly mu-
fi1afad
